Project Brief: British Vogue has commissioned you as an up coming fashion/textile designer/practitioner to collaborate with a contemporary fine artist to create a fashion outcome.
This week were given another project, using a contemporary (artist who is still alive) artist/artwork to influence a fashion outcome which could mean a drawing,sample or toile. We went to the tate modern to find some inspiration from some contemporary artists. The museum was filled with inspiring pieces but finding a piece but someone who was still alive was tricky. However when I did find a piece I did find myself very inspired. The pieces that I did find where very different from each other and appealed to me in different ways. Some pieces where quite simple whilst others were very decorative. I only had a couple of hours to find pieces aswell as draw some of them. I like that I got an arrange of artwork, from pieces made from paper to lead. The painted canvas by Gerhard Richter was really interesting, it wasn't the shape but his use of colour in his painting. To recreate this painting I used oil pastels and coloring pastels, if I have time I will try and recreate his paintings using acrylic paint. Another piece that I drew was by Susumu Koshimzu which was shaped piece of wood. It was interesting that looking down at it the shading and shapes changed slightly. I drew this using charcoal, I think it turned out really well. I think it would be interesting to try and get that pyramid shape using different materials. Zarina Hashmi showed me that you can have one piece directly on another. She drew ontop of a sheet with Arabic on it which was beautiful in itself. She didn't draw anything intricate but it just nicely added anther plane to the piece. My faveourite piece however was the mirror piece created by monir shahroudy farmanfarmaian. She had created a mosaic using different shape mosaic pieces. There was something about it that I just loved. This has already inspired my to not only look at mirror but also geometric patterns. The visit to the tate museum was really inspiring and I cant wait to get me ideas/samples down.
